Figure drafts for the BHI manuscript.
(Thorsten is creating BHI schematic)
Scores by goal for the Baltic Sea, which has an overall Index score of 73. Each petal in this flower plot represents an individual goal, and the petal length and color convey the score of the goal (i.e. longer petals are closer to achieving their target).
Scores by region for the Baltic Sea, on three different spatial scales. BHI regions (a) are the 42 areas resulting from the intesection of the exclusive economic zones (EEZ)s of 9 Baltic countries (b) with the 17 Baltic subbasins (c). (these will be arranged as subplots)
42 BHI regions
9 EEZs
Status and trend for each goal for every Baltic EEZ. Most goals had high scores and increasing trends. However, the clean waters goal (and subgoals) tended to have lower scores, particularly for contaminants (CON). See Table 1 for goal codes.
Notes:
We can get ideas for style from this figure (Thanks Casey!)
I tried create something like Fig 3 in OHI West Coast (Halpern et al. 2014):
But it is not a the best way to visualize this information and piece out what is interesting…
We’ll probably want to do this figure for EEZs because there are too many BHI regions. This is not a great visualization. Could simplify: grey out non-interesting, simplify to goal-level. But ultimately, this visualization looks like it’s going through time, so it’s not a good way to plot: could do a quadrant so that it’s good doing better, bad doing better, bad doing worse.
Message here: CW not doing great and doesn’t look like it will do great in the future, opposite of other goals?
We could try flipping it by goal, with each country to have its own color.
Too many regions to plot usefully.
Still too many subplots, also, is this the scale the people care about?
See table in the BHI manuscript. Alternative goal description text available
Combine these tables: add a 3rd column to the first table, listing the goals affected.
